So quite a while ago i started my first Vinyl i Took a London Taxi i had picked up spare, and began to strip it down (the print is very thick in places) and removed arms and Head - Its Harder than it looks

after sanding it down, it got a base coat of white primer, and then it sat on the kitchen counter for a couple of months whilst i tried to work out how to transfer the idea in my head on to a 3D canvas (No photos of that bit. Lol!)

After working out what i wanted it was now just a case of getting it on the vinyl so after a couple of hours under the Dremel my nice blank Vinyl transfored in to this:

Not looking like much yet, but then it started to come together, a few ebay orders later, and hours of threading Fibre Optic Cables through each whole, and a few thin coats of a dark metalic blue and my London Cab had been transformed :)

And when the lights are out it shines in its full glory..... All you need is Faith, Trust and a Little Bit of Pixie Dust

I think ive offically caught the Custom bug and cant wait to make my next one, i just need to work out which idea i should go with! :)
 
Wow! Ive never liked vinyls but this one made me go awwwwwww! Its amazing and the pattern is very nice. Congratulations it magical.
 
Thanks for all the comments Guys, your all too sweet :)

Grim - i Have no idea how to upload videos, only just mastered putting pics up, but if someone can teach me that would be awesome, as ive now slightly adapted it so that the lights change colour. But no video of its production, if thats what you meant :)
 
I really like what you did with the vinyl. Do you think you could do one so that the lights form a Classic Disney D? I would love to see it if you could. Would not even have to have Tinker Bell on it. Truly AMAZING!
